(Last visited August 2020) This is an absolutely stunning walk! So many different routes to explore off it too. In 2020, the UEA created an official set of waymarked trails to follow called ‘Active Campus’ for students and visitors to explore the campus and learn about its history and heritage, with each trail varying in its […]
(Last visited July 2020) Take the wellies! Yes, even in the summer! I’d say this is a walk for slightly older kids who are okay near water as it has a network of dykes alongside the walks. The ground is low-lying and even in the summer it is very spongy – we were wearing trainers […]
(Last visited June 2019) LOVED IT! This had been recommended to me again and again and I’m so pleased we finally made it there! We tagged it onto a mini break to Center Parcs as it’s only 5 mins down the road and I was in need of a walk away from the crowds. It’s […]
(Last visited July 2020) I’ve only ever been here in months where the marsh is a bit boggier and it’s been overcast, and it has subsequently seemed a bit ‘bleak’. Well I stand corrected – we had a walk that ended in my daughter saying “Mummy, I love nature” – WINNING! There’s a small car […]
I love dogs. I have a dog. But I didn’t always love dogs (I was bitten when I was really little and was terrified as a kid). I’ve also found out recently just how many of your kids are a bit scared of dogs and it prevents you getting out as you don’t know where […]
My aim with Routes for Little Boots has always been to inspire families to discover and explore the amazing Norfolk countryside. However, since lockdown began, I’ve been rather afraid to post. The last thing I want is to accidentally encourage or tempt people to travel further afield than they should, for instance to see some […]
(Last visited July 2019) Southrepps – what a great little place. It’s a 3.5 mile Norfolk Trails circular walk for the whole route (that’s a great one for older kids), or for little legs you can do a shorter version and just explore the common and the Warren. The common is boardwalk and halfway through […]
This is not a definitive list – there will be more added over time! Many you will know, some you may not. Some have facilities, some don’t! Some have slightly bumpier surfaces, some have super smooth ones! But hopefully this will give you a bit of inspiration. NORWICH: Whitlingham Country Park UEA Lake Wensum Walk […]
I’ve scaled much of Norfolk since setting up Routes for Little Boots in my quest to find family-friendly walks. I’ve been delighted to find there are absolutely loads! Narrowing down a list for the whole of Norfolk is quite hard, so this list focuses on Norwich and the surrounding area. There are so many places […]
(Last visited March 2021) I adore this walk. It’s one of those places you feel is a bit of a secret and you don’t want to share with the world! But that would be uncharitable of me. There are so many options, although the uneven ground and mud in places doesn’t make it great for […]
